As the air turns crisp and summer gives way to fall, the September issue of The Bluegrass Standard delivers a harvest of rich stories, musical breakthroughs, and milestone celebrations across the bluegrass landscape.
We’re leading this issue with Tony Kamel, frontman of Wood & Wire, who’s going solo with We’re All Gonna Live, a raw, character-driven album that balances weighty subjects with hope and heart. We also introduce you to Maya de Vitry, the genre-blending singer-songwriter whose work dances between folk, Americana, and indie rock, and we take a closer look at the visionary Billy Blue Records, where grit, passion, and artistry have paved the road to success for both label and artist.
